Schools propose: Let boys into girls locker rooms[W:169]

If you live in Minnesota, your high-school daughter might soon be showering next to a male after athletic practice if a “transgender” policy being considered by the Minnesota State High School League is approved next month.
And beyond Minnesota? Such a policy could be coming to other states, too, if there is not already one in place.
...The policy draft being considered is aimed at allowing “transgender” students – children who believe they were born in the body of the wrong biological sex – to participate on the sports team corresponding with their “perceived gender.”
So, if a boy believes he is a girl trapped in a male body, he should be allowed to play on the girls’ sports team under the proposed policy, regardless of the “gender assigned at birth.”

The world keeps spinning around and keeps getting crazy. After one of the schools allowed a transgender teen (who hasn’t had the surgery yet) to use girl’s toilet, now in Minnesota they consider a possibility of allowing transgenders to use the shower together with the sex they identify themselves.
And while boys might even welcome such changes, I’m not sure that girls or their parents would be extremely glad to see a boy in the girl’s locker.
Seriously, why some doubtful need of one or two people is prevailing over the needs and rights of other people? Give them their own locker, everybody would be happy.

How much does it cost to put panelling around individual showers, like there is in most public places with showers (eg campsites), or unisex toilets/changing rooms? It wouldn't even require much in terms of construction time...

If a kid is trans (and there'll have to be evidence, reports and assessments) they're not sexually interested in people who identify as the same gender.

Unless, they are transgendered lesbian, which apparently there is such a thing. Yes, that's little boys (And big boys) who think they're lesbian girls..

I mean other than folks that subscribe to this nonsense, is there really that much of an outcry to accommodate this stupidity?

Re: Schools propose: Let boys into girls locker rooms

Any one that sends their child to a public school today is an idiot.
Between the religion battle, shootings, crazy teachers (was drinking with one last night), parents that look at schools and teachers as surrogate parents.
Home school has to be the way.
